i love shen but i hate him playing in low elo. you can't carry as shen. his ult has a long cooldown. when i ult on teammates they run away instead if engage. while his enemy zed is one of the best mid laner. shen is in a bad spot. he gets bullied by every single top laner. he is terrible in engage for a tank. he belongs in a support. riot plz do something with this champ. either rework him. his utl has no special has like 150 sec cooldown early games. he is suppose to be a true hero of league of legend. he is more like side kick for akali and kennan.

I recommend you watch some higher level Shen play. He's a very team oriented champion, So it can be difficult to carry as Shen if your team isnt coordinated or doesn't trust you. Which is common in low ELO. And it's also very easy to play Shen poorly and fall behind if you taunt in at the wrong time. Landing the taunt is crucial to Shen because it allows the rest of his kit to be its most efficient(double procing passive and a stronger more reliable Q). If anything engage with Flash taunt or wait for one of your team mates to land a slow you are more likely to get a good engage.

And if you play him correctly he should actually win most of his trades provided you land your taunt and back off soon after. He only has a tough time with ranged tops like Teemo Teemo , Kayle Kayle etc. and other lane bullies like darius Darius , renekton , illaoi Illaoi , and pantheon but Shen isnt the only one that has a tough time with those champions. You Should be able to stall the lane fairly well and wait for help or just play under tower there is nothing wrong with that.

He is in good spot because he isnt over powered but he is still viable so you dont have to worry about any big nerfs or buffs for months. You just need to learn how to understand Shens' role in the team better.
